This demo shows how to automate deployment of a three-tier application into a vCloud Director virtual datacentre. The application consists of a database, app tier hosting a REST API, and web server consisting of two load-balanced VMs. We walk through how to automate the creation and configuration of vCD objects such as: vApp, VM, Routed Networks, Load Balancer, Catalog, Catalog Item, SNAT, DNAT, and Firewall Rules. After deployment, we demonstrate the connectivity between each of the application tiers.
